Central Bedfordshire Council Priory House Monks Walk Chicksands, Shefford SG17 5TQ Central Bedfordshire Council Priory House Monks Walk Chicksands, Shefford SG17 5TQ TO EACH MEMBER OF THE DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE 18 June 2013 Dear Councillor DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE - Wednesday 19 June 2013 Further to the Agenda and papers for the above meeting, previously circulated, please find attached the Late Sheet:- Late Sheet 3 - 24 Should you have any queries regarding the above please contact Democratic Services on Tel: 0300 300 4032. Yours sincerely Martha Clampitt, Committee Services Officer email: [email protected] This page is intentionally left blank Agenda Item 5a Page 3 LATE SHEET DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE – 19/06/2012 Item 6 (Pages 15 - 62) CB/13/00985/FULL – Change of use for the stationing of one residential static caravan and two touring caravans, and parking for two associated vehicles at Paradise Farm, The Causeway, Clophill, MK45 4BA. Additional Consultation/Publicity Responses Anglian Water has confirmed that a foul sewer crosses the site and that they would not permit any building within a 6 metre easement (3m either side of the centre line of the sewer). A plan has been provided by Anglian Water showing the location of the sewer. Comments on the Consultation Response The plan provided by Anglian Water does not represent the location of the sewer pipe on the ground as it is visible where it crosses the watercourse which does not concur with the plan provided. It is considered that the sewer is most likely to run from the manhole cover in the access road across the site to where the pipes are visibly crossing the watercourse. The applicant’s agent has been made aware of this issue and has revised the plan to avoid the easement. Other Comments In response to concerns regarding the accuracy of the plans the case officer visited the site and measured it. Following this visit the measurements were provided to the applicant’s agent and the plan has been amended accordingly. The front part of the site on which the residential accommodation would be located measures 38.5m in length and 16.8m wide at its widest point and 15.2m at its narrowest point. The rear part of the site on which the garden would be located measures 25m in length and 15.8m wide. The static caravan currently on site is 10.3m by 3.6m, with the touring caravan measuring 6m by 2.3m. It is considered that condition 5 part vii should be revised to specifically require the size of caravans to be shown on the site layout plan. Although the revised site layout would result in the static caravan being located forward of the existing building line on The Causeway, it is not considered that this would have a significant adverse impact on visual amenity due to the heavy Agenda Item 5a Page 4 landscaping along The Causeway which prevents long range views of the site against the housing development. The roof and top part of the static caravan would be visible above the existing boundary fencing however it is not considered that this would have an impact so adverse on the character and appearance of the area, immediately adjacent to the edge of the village, to warrant a refusal of planning permission. The applicant’s agent has advised that the part of the site on which the caravans would be located would be gravelled rather than hard surfaced. The agent also confirmed that the family would use the amenity facilities within the static caravan as they do now. The panels of the boundary fencing adjacent to the watercourse can be removed to provide access for the IDB by unscrewing the panels. In order to prevent any potential overlooking with 17 The Causeway adjacent to the site any windows located on the rear of the static caravan facing number 17 will be required by condition to be obscure glazed. Amended Condition 5 5. The use hereby permitted shall cease and all caravans, structures, equipment and materials brought onto the land for the purposes of such use shall be removed within 28 days of the date of failure to meet any one of the requirements set out in (i) to (vi) below: i. within 3 months of the date of this decision a scheme for the means of surface water drainage of the site shall be submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority, the approved scheme shall be implemented with 3 months of the date of approval; ii. within 3 months of the date of this decision the proposed vehicular access shall be constructed and surfaced in accordance with details to be approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority for a distance of 10m into the site, measured from the highway boundary, arrangements shall be made for surface water drainage from the site to be intercepted and disposed of separately so that it does not discharge into the highway. iii. within 3 months of the date of this decision a scheme for the storage and collection of waste from the site shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority, the approved scheme shall be implemented within 3 months of the date of approval; iv. within 3 months of the date of this decision a scheme for external lighting of the site shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority, the approved scheme shall be implemented within 3 months of the date of approval; v. within 3 months of the new access being brought into use, any existing access within the frontage of the land to be developed, not incorporated in the access hereby approved shall be closed in accordance with a scheme submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority, the scheme shall include the details of the closure of the access, boundary treatment and landscaping. Agenda Item 5a Page 5 vi. within 3 months of the date of this decision a landscaping scheme to screen the site, clearly identifying ground preparation works, details of all tree, hedge and shrub planting and where appropriate earth mounding including details of species, plant sizes and proposed numbers and densities, together with the means of their protection shall be submitted to and approved by the Local Planning Authority, the approved scheme shall be implemented during the first full planting season following the completion of the development. The trees, shrubs and grass shall subsequently be maintained for a period of five years from the date of planting and any which die or are destroyed during this period shall be replaced during the next planting season and maintained until satisfactorily established. vii. within 3 months of the date of this decision a plan showing the layout of the site including the position and size of the caravans shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority, the approved scheme shall be implemented within 3 months of the date of approval. Reason: To ensure an appropriate standard of development. (CS policy DM3 and DSCB policy 43). Amended Condition 7 7. The development hereby permitted shall not be carried out except in complete accordance with the details shown on the submitted plans, numbers SLO6, 2013, Draft VIJ & LOC-04. Reason: For the avoidance of doubt. Additional Condition 8. Any windows in the static caravan facing 17 The Causeway shall be fitted with obscured glass of a type to substantially restrict vision through it at all times, details of which shall have been previously submitted to and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority. Reason: To safeguard the amenities of occupiers of adjoining properties. (CS policy DM3 and DSCB policy 43). Item 7 (Pages 61-74) – CB/13/01378/VOC – Plot 1, Magpie Farm, Hill Lane, Upper Caldecote, Biggleswade, SG18 9DP Corrections: ‘Determining Issue’ No. 2 (page 66) should be amended to read Impact on the visual amenities of the area and No. 3 should be deleted. The Planning History section of the report should be amended to read: Agenda Item 5a Page 6 Planning History - relevant MB/05/01478/FULL Full: Change of use of land for siting of 2 caravans Refused: 15/02/2006 Appeal allowed: 23/04/2007 MB/09/00027/FULL Wooden building for use as a dayroom Refused: 05/05/2009 Appeal allowed: 11/06/2010 Informatives: The following informative would be added to any approval: The applicant is advised that if it is proposed to retain the existing day room at the site, the scheme for the layout of the site required by condition 4(d) should show it.

  • Potton Market Square Walk
    Investigating your Heritage POTTON MARKET SQUARE WALK Peter Ibbett When was the first market held at Potton? How old are its buildings? Where did the design of the Clock House come from? Introduction ‘There is as much pleasure to be had in the chamber music of Bedfordshire or Rutland; perhaps, one might say a more sophisticated pleasure in discovering the essence of these simpler and smaller landscapes.’ W.G Hoskins. ‘The Making of the English Landscape’ 1955. This leaflet is intended to provide an introduction to Potton Market Square. It asks the visitor to take their time and to ask themselves questions about what they see around them. You could devote at least half a day to appreciating the townscape that previous generations have bequeathed and which the present is actively modifying for future Pottonians. It is intended to supplement material that is still in print and can be obtained from the Potton History Society or in the town. Potton is an ancient market town, with population of nearly 5,000, covering 2,671 acres of boulder clay and greensand. Its written history can be traced back to the 10 th century through a grant of land to Ramsey Abbey. At the time of the Doomsday Book Countess Judith, niece of William the Conqueror, held the manor of Potton. By 1501, the Burgoyne family of neighbouring Sutton controlled Potton market, and later bought the estate. Admiral the Hon John Byng at Southill was the next owner in 1752. From 1795 to 1917, the Whitbread family of Southill were Lords of the Manor.

  • Level 1 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment July 2017
    Central Bedfordshire Council www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk Level 1 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment July 2017 - 1 - Central Bedfordshire Strategic Flood Risk Assessment Central Bedfordshire Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) 1. Introduction 1.1 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) requires that local planning authorities, when preparing Local Plans, should undertake a Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA). The SFRA appraises the risk of flooding in Central Bedfordshire. Flooding from all sources is considered (fluvial, groundwater, surface water and reservoirs). 1.2 All development proposals must consider existing and future flood risk, taking into account of climate change effects. This information will form the basis for preparing appropriate policies for flood risk management and assessing sites for development. Sites at low risk should normally be the preferred option. However, with suitable mitigation, essential development within high-risk areas can be achieved and the SFRA is designed to help inform CBC in these circumstances. 1.3 Central Bedfordshire’s SFRA is being prepared in two stages: The first stage (Level 1) comprises of a desk based study collating and reviewing existing and historic flooding information. The purpose of this first stage is to provide an assessment of the extent and nature of the risk of flooding in Central Bedfordshire and its implications for the Local Plan. This has been completed. A more detailed second stage SFRA (Level 2) will be undertaken once CBC has identified areas of new development in locations at flood risk. The purpose of this level of assessment is to assist the Council and developers to avoid inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding, and to direct development away from areas at highest risk wherever possible, identifying suitable mitigation where this is unavoidable.

The Potton Parish GI Plan is funded by Potton Town Council (PTC) as part of their funding of the Potton Parish Neighbourhood Plan, and is facilitated by Bedfordshire Rural Communities Charity (BRCC). The production of the GI Plan was requested by the Potton Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group (NPSG) on behalf of PTC; to be a valuable tool in its own right as a planning document, and to inform policies and objectives in the emerging Potton Neighbourhood Plan. This Plan is a revision of the original Potton GI Plan (2010), see Appendix 1. This revised plan will be reviewed annually by PTC to determine progress made, and the NPSG will review the GI Plan every five years and update where required, on behalf of PTC. BRCC was appointed to facilitate the production of this Plan as it is a charity that works with local communities and landowners to conserve and enhance the landscape, wildlife and history in this area.
